Solitude Creek by Jeffrey Deaver
Kathryn Dance series Book #4
4 ★
A tragedy occurs at a small concert venue on the Monterey Peninsula. Cries of "fire" are raised and, panicked, people run for the doors, only to find them blocked. A half dozen people die and others are seriously injured. But it's the panic and the stampede that killed them; there was no fire. Kathryn Dance--a brilliant California Bureau of Investigation agent and body language expert--discovers that the stampede was caused intentionally and that the perpetrator, a man obsessed with turning people's own fears and greed into weapons, has more attacks planned. She and her team must race against the clock to find where he will strike next before more innocents die.I have been a fan of Jeffrey Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series for years so when the first Kathryn Dance book cam out I thought I would give it try. I have been hooked on this lady ever since. The one thing you can count on with this author is that he will describe in detail every aspect of the story. In this case his ingenious description of the unsub and his horrendous acts is brilliant. You are certainly sure that you never want to meet up with anyone like him. Dance does something in this book that she almost never does...she gets the initial information wrong. If you have never read a Jeffrey Deaver book...you are in for a treat.
